Stanley Stash Serafin
Blind since birth, Serafin attended Overbrook School For the Blind through eighth grade and graduated from Wissahickon High School in Ambler, PA. He attended Montgomery County Community College and holds an Associate Degree in General Studies, studied piano as a child and attended Temple University to become a piano major with music education as a second major.
Serafin started figure skating in 1968; this became a major passion and he has become well known in the skating world doing fund raisers to help ice skating shows raise money for Olympic skaters and other special projects for skaters with disabilities.
A knee injury in 1983 turned Serafin’s career in another direction; studying different modalities of massage and body work techniques that enabled him to develop a program called Sensitive Energy Coaching. The different modalities of body work allow Serafin to sense methods of movement from the inside out. He has lectured through the years for numerous Lions Clubs in the Bucks and Montgomery County area, and has done public speaking in several churches, elder care facilities and schools, and has been on numerous TV and radio stations speaking about healing and the connection between loving one’s self and healing including Good Morning America, That’s Incredible, WWDB talk radio with Yvonne Kaye, and WBUX as a guest on Added Dimensions with host Margaret Mohr.
Serafin continues to perfect his skating skills as a sensitive energy coach and still performs in skating shows.
Through Stash’s varied experiences, he weaves an inner Tapistry of sensing faith rather than merely thinking about faith.
Our newest book, You Can’t Get It ‘Cause You’ve Already Got It! We’re excited about it, and I hope you will be too.
Also you can check out a three minute clip of me skating along with a conversation with my co-author Ruth Anne Wood
Send me any questions you have about Scripting and Skating through life. Some of these questions will be used in our talks and tel-classes.
Watch Stash skating years ago. It’s a blast from the past!

Hi Stash,
Frank and I have read almost the entire book you gave us. It is very encouraging to anyone who feels that their lives must be defined by their perception (or other peoples’ perception) of their limitations. God bless you and your friend Ruth. Frank & JoAnn Muscara

It’s been fun skating with you. Thanks to your help I am still skating at age 88. I really enjoy our Thursday morning skating sessions at Face Off Circle. Your blog and website are great. Keep up the good work.

Dear Stash,
Rhoda Malamute has been a friend of ours for over a decade. We met on a fun-filled cruise to Bermuda and have remained in contact with one another ever since. She was kind enough to share your site with me. You are a tremendous inspiration to me and to so many others. Living in Miami my entire life did not give me much opportunity to ice skate, but I certainly tried. The first time I took my first lesson, I fell so many times, my father said he stop counting. Nevertheless, whenever I arrive in NYC in December, I make it a point of heading to Rockefeller Center to skate the under the Christmas Tree. I am not any better but I never give up and neither have you. It was a pleasure to watch your video clips.
I understand you’ll be seeing Rho during the annual Memorial Day Bash. Please do me the favor of giving her a big, warm hug just from me.
Best wishes to you and yours for a wonderful weekend and a pleasant summer.
Yours truly,
Andrew

Oh yes it feels fantastic!

Yes You know what? Feel first, and form follows? Get my drift? When you walk or do something, you trust yourself, feel first, and form follows just like imagining a project. Feel it, you deal with what you feel, and results happen Make sense?
